Now I didnt buy.
I have no streaming platrform except a small desktop.
But I gather people who did pay have Smart TVs.
And don’t you have to install an app to use the peacock codes ??
To me, any app is you granting a stranger a backdoor into your device and personal info.
Even if you remove it, the app can leave code behind that does who knows what.
Ever so likely peacock has a backroom deal with Nielsen ratings. So your device will be forever infected with a Nielsen ratings box in the hidden code.

Granted I have unlimited high speed data access on my Verizon plan, but I refuse to watch anything other than tai chi and yoga classes on such a small screen (Silver Sneakers).

My hotspot, OTOH, is limited to 50 gig a month (of high speed) and I need that for FR!! So I watch streaming TV on my TV set attached to an old laptop, when I have to. Otherwise, it's over-the-air TV for me.
